In Training for a Duel.

A correspondent, while in conversation
with an old citizen of Macon, heard Of the
following incident as going to prove the cool
courage of the Voolfolk family "You have
heard, of course" said he. ''of the famous
Woolfolk-Camp duel, which took place years
ago, and resulted in the killing of Camp, one
of the most noted duclists in the south Camp
was daring man, and had fought several
duels, always bringing down his man He
was dead shot, was considered a dangerous
man, and was domineering and insulting in
his manner. he was the terror of every one
But finally he insulted one Of the Woolfolks,
who challenged Camp and the challenge was
accepted. Friends interfered and tried to
conciliate matters, believing that Voolfolk
would surely be killed, but he was a fearless
man and very determined. He was told by
his second that ne would be killed Il expect

that we both shall die His friend induced
him to take some lessons before facing such
dangerous adversary. He took him out,
stripped him to the waist and stepped OF

for the duel, and they were to fire at each
other after the word Three The pistols
were loaded with corils. His friend called
out, Fire one, two three
''At the word fire his friend fired before he
did, and Voolfolk jumped in the air, having
been hit by the cork. You must learn to
receive the cork without tiinching,' said his
friend although it will leave a painful
bruise every time The pistols were again
and again loaded, and each time Voolfolk
was struck, but he never moved q muscle,
but kept cool. and with steady aim would fire
after his friend had shot and hit him. 1t was
understood that his friend should fire first. as
it was believed impossible for him to shoot
quicker than Camp, and his only hope was to
shoot and kill Camp after he had been shot
1t resulted just as Woolfolk's friends had
planned it should result. When the duel
took place. at the word three Camp shot
first, has bullet passing through Woolfolks

and deliberate aim, no fired a second after
Camp, and both fell TO the ground stimuli

There is no ceremony about dogs fun

soul, he is very likely to keep tho belief to
himself, and if he didn't it would probably
be rather difficult to get any minister to say
prayers over the four footed pet. The dog is
simply put into childs caSket Of fitting size,
and conveyed in hearse wagon to Gene

waiting, and there are some quite striking
exhibitions Of grief over the departed ami

were, on the waters Of oblivion.
'Do the cemetery authorities object to such

Certainly not. At least have not heard
of their objecting, even if they had a legal
right to DO so. The dogs are inferred in the
